  Kristin Hissong wrote a new blog post: Hollow Land: Israel’s Architecture of Occupation   5 days, 2 hours ago

  In this journey from the deep subterranean spaces of the West Bank and Gaza to their militarized airspace, Eyal Weizman unravels Israel’s mechanisms of control and its transformation of the Occupied Territories into a theoretically constructed artifice, in which all natural and built features function as the weapons and ammunition with which the conflict is [...]

Israel claims it is a security measure to protect Israeli citizens from terrorist attacks. Opponents point to the serious impact on the rights of Palestinians, depriving them of their land, mobility and access [...]

  Kristin Hissong wrote a new blog post: Barrier: The Seam of the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict   5 days, 2 hours ago

  One of the effects of the highly controversial barrier being erected by Israel between itself and Occupied Palestine has been the creation of a weird nether-world dubbed “the Seam Zone,” which Jerusalem Report editor Kerchner describes with both compassion and coherence. Using numerous interviews and impressive legwork, Kerchner conveys both the tragic necessity of a [...]
